Increased European Terrorist Threat levels

 International Threat levels: The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even “A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards."They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from &

Setting the Government's Agenda by Gary North

From lewrockwell.com Gary North explains why there will be no REAL change even if the Republicans manage to take over the government, and why we're all more or less doomed. :-/ CONCLUSION There is no way off the train. The train is going to go over the trestle. The Establishment is committed to kicking the fiscal can. There will be no budget cuts. There will be no balanced budgets. There will be a crisis when the budgets cannot be financed at anything under 20% per annum except by mass inflation by the FED. Prepare for the crisis. It's coming. Be sure to read the whole thing here We're well and truly hosed. Enjoy things while you can because in a few years it's going to be very grim in the American Empire.

Ah summer...

I was looking forward to summer but I didn't expect it to show up on February 5th and 6th! Yesterday was 76º and today is forecast to be in the mid 80º range. I rode my bike to Mitchel Katz winery yesterday and met up with Mike for the 2007 Fat Boy release party, that was fun :-) Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

When Pigs Fly!

When Serenity and I were at the park today with some other homeschooling families, enjoying the warm sunshine of February, a group of high school kids arrived at the park, one dressed in pink as a pig. The story was he had asked a girl to the winter formal dance and she said "When Pigs Fly" and this was his reaction to that. Supposedly the girls mom was supposed to get her to the park to see him up in the air but we left before she got there so we don't know the result of the boy's efforts. I sort of hope he got the date after all of that effort. :-) Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The end of the world!

Now this is cool, seems that according to Harold Camping, the nut-job heretic who runs the Family Radio Scam out of Oakland, the world will end / Christ will return while we are in the middle of our Maui vacation this year!  Sort of nice, we'll go from earthly paradise to eternal paradise while on vacation.  Woo Hoo!  :-) « It's Going to be a... | Main It had been a few months since I dropped in on Harold Camping, the Oakland minister who believes the world will end May 21 .
